Welcome to the last day of May. Indeed, the Lord Yahweh has been very good and merciful to us and today we are here to appreciate Him for life, sound health and mind, protection, preservation, peace and provisions. For the grace of having Your Word on daily basis, we appreciate You. For the privilege of relationship with Your Spirit, we are most grateful. Thank You for fighting invisible battles for us and making us more than conquerors. To you alone be all the glory in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen! You shall end this month in celebration and joy. June will meet you with blessings!
Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. Revelation 7:12 [KJV]
Wisdom affects everything about the living of a person on earth. Wisdom determines the quality of life that one is going to live. When you take wisdom steps, then you will experience the best of Elohim in your life. One of wisdom’s ways is thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is the wisdom for increase, sustenance and promotion. Until we give thanks, we do not have access to the throne room. Psalms 100:4 says, “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” Thanksgiving is the access code into the throne room and into the presence of the Father. You may have plenty of supplications to offer; your case may even be very urgent, but you would be yelling from the outer court without thanksgiving. That is the beginning of frustration on the altar of prayer. It is Wisdom to come with thanksgiving. Wherever there is wisdom, there will necessarily be thanksgiving.
One of the benefits of thanksgiving is that it is the major channel of increase. Whenever, something is in short supply and there is need for increase and abundance then thanksgiving was employed and there was always increase. We saw the Lord Yahushua feeding the multitude with limited resources available but with thanksgiving, it become more than enough. In John 6:11(KJV), ‘And Yahushua took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.’ In case there is an expectation that is yet to materialize in the month of May, it is not late yet, if you can offer quality thanksgiving for the issue today. Don’t murmur, nor grumble, just be full of gratitude to the Father, for that expectation and watch how it turns to your manifestation.
Secondly, whatever you have received this month or since the year began is preservable by thanksgiving. Hear how Yahweh puts it in Malachi 2:1-2, ‘1 And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. 2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.’ What Yahweh has done for you is only preserved in returning to Him with quality and quantity thanksgiving. Do that today. It is the Lord’s doing, therefore, only Him deserve the glory. You cannot preserve what you didn’t provide. It is only the hands that provided it that can preserve it and if He is to preserve it, then you must keep the appreciation tap flowing.
REMEMBER: Thanksgiving and praise is the wisdom way into His presence, increase and preservation.
THANKSGIVING: Dear Father, we are not worthy of the least of Your mercies. What shall we say for bringing us to the end of this great month, no loss, no tears, we saw goodness and mercies, abundance of blessings in front and at the back. Thank You for the salvation of my soul. Thank You for the continuous flow of Your Word on this platform. Thank You for Your preservation, provision and supplies. Thank You for abundance of Your Word that has built me up this month. To You alone be all the glory in the Name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: Having returned with thanksgiving today, I declare that everything with your name on it still hanging be released now. There shall be no carry-over of May releases in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

“Father, I thank You for bringing me to the last Sunday of the month of May 2021. Thank You for all You have done for me and mine this month. Thank You for life, sound mind and body, provisions, protection, preservation and peace all through this month. Thank You for not allowing me to run helter skelter over my health or that of my loved ones. To You alone be all the glory in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!” Having returned today with thanksgiving, this month shall end well for you. In the remaining hours of this month, you shall see the mighty hand of Yahweh!
Have you seen a man who is expert in his business? he will take his place before kings; his place will not be among low persons. Proverbs 22:29 (BBE)
Wisdom wants to make you an expert in any area of your calling in life. If it is not excellence, divine wisdom is not involved. Divine wisdom drives you to focus on your career or business, develop goals, short and long term goals and begin to apply yourself to the demands of diligence in order to make the most of your time. We are going to outline wisdom steps to take to emerge an expert in your career or business that will make you attract kings and nobles around the world. Remember that kings are ordained to come to the brightness of your raising (see Isaiah 60:3). The operation of wisdom puts governments under pressure to consult you because they cannot deny your effects by the excellence that exudes from you. What are the wisdom steps? 1. Focus: Proverbs 4:24 (BBE) says, ‘Keep your eyes on what is in front of you, looking straight before you.’ Be a person of a single eye. Focus on your career and don’t be distracted. You are a person of excellence and there is glory in what you are doing if only you will apply yourself to task. You maybe the first to make it lucrative. Don’t follow the multitude to run from one career or business to another. Focus on what is in your hand. There can be no excellence without focus. 2. Set Goals. Luke 14:28 (KJV) says, ‘For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?’ Setting goals is the process of counting the cost. What does it take to be at this point in my career in the next five years? What does it take to be this size of net worth in the next five years in this business? Set short-term and long-term goals. There can be no pursuit without clear cut goals with timelines. 3. Plan. Having set your short-term and long-term goals, develop workable plans on how to achieve the goals. Planning involves setting up processes with time tags to activities. It was Benjamin Franklin, the father of time management who said ‘Failing to plan is planning to fail’. Without workable plans, your goals may just end up unfulfilled because planning is the pathway to the goal fulfilment. 4. Pursue. This is where applying yourself in focus comes into play again. Pursue your goal through careful implementation of your plans. Make adjustments where necessary but pursue and don’t be deterred when you encounter failure or something that didn’t work according to plan. Always be flexible to re-plan and keep pursuing. Consistency is the key. Whatever works, keep working it. 5. Connect your goal to kingdom interest to commit God’s partnership. This is the winning ticket for us in the kingdom. Every other thing stated above can be applied by an unbeliever but this point is what makes us different and secures divine backing which makes us wonders on earth (see Matthew 6:33).
There is absolutely nothing that can hinder you when you walk in divine wisdom concerning your career or business. Shalom!
REMEMBER: Wisdom makes you an envy in your career/business.
CONFESSION: I am the righteousness of Yahweh in Yahushua HaMashiach. Excellence is my lifestyle. I produce excellence in the work of my hands. I am an expert in what I do and kings are flowing to the brightness of my raising. Halleluyah!!!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: As this month ends tomorrow, I decree that there shall be no carry-over of May’s blessings to June. I decree that within the remaining hours that you enter practically into all that the Lord has released for you this month in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

This is the day of divine manifestation. Why was power always available on Shabbats for the Lord Yahushua to perform miracles and healings? There is something about the Shabbat that our generation does not know. It is a day of divine manifestation of grace to do good in the lives of people. Whatever the situation of your life says today is not beyond this power. I declare to you that your situation receives the touch of the Lord Yahushua. Be healed! Be delivered! Be empowered! Be released into your destiny now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen! Shabbat Shalom!
Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Colossians 3:19 (KJV)
The husband has a responsibility to love his wife as HaMashiach loved the Church. Our opening text states, “and be not bitter against them” meaning that the wife has the capacity not just to annoy her husband but to behave in such a way that will embitter the man. To be bitter means to express severe grief or regret about something. It means marked by strong resentment or cynicism. The husband must know that the wife could behave in ways that could bring strong resentment in his heart towards her and from the beginning make the room to love her in spite. The Church is not close to being perfect but HaMashiach still loves the Church and gave Himself for her. Husband remember that loving your wife has a yardstick and it is a very high one. It is as HaMashiach loves the church and gave himself for her. Loving your wife is something you must be intentional, dedicated and consistent about. She does not need to be perfect to deserve your love. The Church was lost when Christ died for her. It was that sacrifice of love that brought us into relationship with God. It is loving your wife that will bring out the angel and comforter in her alive. Put showing love to your wife in your budget. Be intentional about it. Your open heavens amongst others depends on your wife’s disposition towards you.
1 Peter 3:7 says that husband should dwell with your wife according to knowledge. Knowledge here means that the husband is to know his wife in all the departments of her life in order to be able to read the mood of his wife per time and act according to that knowledge. You know when your wife is tired and needs rest and you help her get the needed rest and rejuvenate herself. You know when your wife is moody and needs succour, you try to bring her to smiles and joy. You know when your wife is happy and you don’t puncture that mood. When you don’t act towards your wife according to knowledge, you become the enemy of your own destiny because your prayers will be hindered. Loving your wife is just for your own good.
Fathers, provoke not your children to wrath. I see a situation in my generation where fathers have abdicated their responsibility of training their children. It is the responsibility of the father to teach the family, the word of God. Train the children. Give instruction before you apply discipline. The word of God is for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness. If you as a father don’t have time for the Word of God, how can you teach it? We have absent fathers that only come in to try to discipline on what is not done well while they have not taken time to give instructions and training. When you do that, you are provoking the child to wrath and the end result is going to be rebellion. You don’t want to have that situation, would you?
REMEMBER: Wisdom instructs the husband to love his wife to enjoy marital bliss.
CONFESSION: As HaMashiach is, so am I. I love my spouse and respond in understanding to my family. Thank You Lord!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that your family shall begin to experience bliss from this day in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Colossians 3:18-19 (KJV)
Man is a creation of Adonai. It is also only Him that knows the best way that the man can function and fulfill purpose. That is why, it is wisdom to go to the manufacturer’s manual for man which is the Bible and find out the Wisdom steps to take to maximize his life. There are wisdom steps in the Word for every area of the man’s life including his marriage. Marriage is Yahweh’s initiative. He therefore, knows the best way to enjoy it. It is Wisdom to search out the keys the creator of marriage has made available for unlocking the treasures in the institution. It is important to note that the wisdom of Yahweh looks like foolishness with men. However, the foolishness of Yahweh if there is anything like that is wiser than men (see 1 Corinthians 1:25). No matter the school you attended and the resultant certificate that you parade, if you don’t humble yourself and subscribe to the wisdom of Yahweh concerning marriage, you will make a shipwreck of your marriage. The evidence of the foregoing statement is the divorce statistics the world over and looks like the number is more with the well read class. Education is not equal to wisdom. Divine Wisdom is a function of hearing and hearkening to the Word of Adonai. If you are too big to hear and obey the word of Yahweh – the Bible, you are too big for success in marriage. If you are too educated to humble yourself before the Word of Elohim, you are too educated to succeed in marriage. Truth is truth. There is no new generation truth. Truth is timeless and ageless.
The position of the wife in the family is a spiritually sensitive and strategic one. Contrary to several years of teaching that the success of the family hangs on the head of the home who is the husband of the home, the Word actually teaches that the rise and fall of a home is almost 100% dependent on the wife of the home. In almost all the New Testament references about the family, the first person to be addressed is the wife. In Ephesians, Colossians and Peter that addressed the home, the wife was always the first person to be addressed. Proverbs 14:1 (KJV) says something striking, ‘Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands’ Proverbs 23:4 says that ‘Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:’ Every building is built by the operation of Wisdom. This is very critical. How does the wise woman build her house? Our text explains how: wives submit to your husbands as unto the Lord. This is not human-made postulation. This is Divine Wisdom for a successful marital life. No matter your estate in life, if you submit to this Wisdom, you will enjoy peace like river in your home, even if Satan is your husband. Did you notice it says that you should submit to your own husband as to the Lord? That is in the same measure that you would submit to the Lord Yahushua, is exactly the same measure that you should submit to your own husband. That is grave to me, just thinking about it.
Did you notice that I said that even if Satan is your husband, that you would have peace at home? That is exactly what 1 Peter 3:1-6 was explaining. The Apostle Peter says that even if your husband does not obey the word meaning is not a Christian, he may be won by your chaste character which he will observe. The wife wields so much influence in her home that she literally holds the rise and fall of the home. May the Lord give every wife wisdom to walk by the Word. Shalom!
We shall continue with the husband tomorrow…
REMEMBER: Submitting to your husband in everything is the wisdom for marital bliss.
CONFESSION: I am a woman/man of wisdom. I walk by the word of the Lord, pleasing him in all my ways. I submit to my husband as unto the Lord and I receive the fruit of heaven on earth marriage Thank You Lord!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: As you work in this wisdom as a wife, I declare peace, love and rest in your home in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. Deuteronomy 4:6 (KJV)
Wisdom is hearing the Word and doing it. That was what the Lord Yahushua said in Matthew 7:24, “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:“ As long as you remain in the Word, you are going to continue to function in Wisdom. Your spiritual life begins at new birth; at the time your spirit-man is quickened by the Holy Spirit; at the point of surrender to the Lordship of Yahushua HaMashiach (Ephesians 2:1,5,6). Having come alive in HaMashiach, we have to walk in Wisdom to enjoy most successful relationship with Yahweh. The First thing about our lives as new creations is that the food of our recreated human spirit is the Word of Yahweh. 1 Peter 2:2 says, ‘As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:’ In John 6:63, the word says that ‘The Spirit is the one who gives life; human nature is of no help! The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.’ To grow and mature spiritually, you must be addicted to the Bible in reading, studying, meditating and practising same. You cannot outgrow this process as long as you are on this side of eternity. How long can one go without food before the body wears out? Same applies spiritually, if you starve your spirit of the Word, it will soon die and you would return back to sin.
Another thing about our recreated human spirit is that it has to breathe to live and what breathing is to the human body is what prayer is to the recreated human spirit. II Thessalonians 5:17 says that we should pray without ceasing. Prayer is the air we breathe to stay alive spiritually. Luke 18:1 says that we ought always to pray and not to faint. Prayer is an “always” thing. Then to intensify your prayer, you need to add fasting to it. The Lord Yahushua says that there are some kind of situation that will not respond except fasting is added (see Matthew 17:21; Mark 9:29). It is important to note that prayer and fasting does not change Yahweh but it changes you. As you read the word in prayer and fasting, your faith grows to believe Yahweh for more and it is to us according to our faith (Matthew 9:29). Also don’t neglect praying in the Holy Spirit. Do that always!
Another thing about our recreated human spirit is that it was created for fellowship not just with Yahweh but with the brethren. We are like wood, our impact is only possible when we come together. On the Day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit lighted the Church not in their different houses but when they were gathered together (Acts 2:1) and to maintain that fire, remaining together is inevitable. No matter the fire you claim to carry, you will naturally go off when you isolate yourself from fellowship of brethren (see Hebrews 10:25). This is the wisdom so many lacked that has extinguished their spiritual lives and fire.
Lastly for space, our recreated human spirit needs exercise to remain fit. What physical exercise is to the body is what godliness is to our recreated human spirit (see I Timothy 4:7-8). Godliness is the outworking of the gift of righteousness which you received at new birth. The day to day manifestation of that righteousness which results in reverence for Yahweh, peace and good works towards people.
REMEMBER: It takes Wisdom to maintain your spiritual life.
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word to me today. I receive the grace to do all that is required to maintain my spiritual life in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: Every indiscipline hindering your spiritual growth is cursed today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

Your prosperity is not a function of your job or where you live. It is a function of your obedience to the Word concerning your finances. Not everyone is struggling financially. As you position yourself in the covenant, be blessed. I command increase and grace upon the works of your hands. That siege over your finances is over today. That blockage in the realm of the spirit is removed now. I command your path straightened by the power of the Holy Spirit today. Receive that connection that will bring a new direction and turning point to you now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
HOW TO RECOGNIZE THIS WISDOM (7): WITHOUT HYPOCRISY
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. James 3:17 (KJV)
This is the last characteristic of divine Wisdom that Brother James talked about. This Wisdom is without hypocrisy. In Greek, the words for hypocrisy and hypocrite have to do with someone playing a part, as if they were an actor on stage. They’re dissemblers, pretenders who simulate, feign, and pretend to be something they are not (Thayer’s dictionary, entries on G5273 and G5271). The opposite is what we find in wisdom — anupokritos (G505), something that is unfeigned, undisguised, sincere. Somehow, we’re all familiar with the problem of hypocrisy in the Church. For most of us, it’s something we’ve had close experience with. We’ve found ourselves disgusted with others who we identify as hypocrites and we may even have caught ourselves doing hypocritical things. The Bible tells us “wisdom is the principle thing, therefore get wisdom” (Prov. 4:7, KJV). Wisdom is something Yahweh has in abundance and which He is eager to share with those who ask for it (James 1:5). As we grow in wisdom we will become people who are sincere, authentic, and live without hypocrisy.
Avoiding hypocrisy is not as simple a matter as it may seem, even for mature Christians. For example, Paul speaks of a time when the Apostle Peter and “even Barnabas” were carried away by hypocrisy, along with other Jewish Christians (Gal. 2:11-14). We all need to be vigilant. James 5:12 (WEB) says, “But above all things, my brothers, don’t swear— not by heaven, or by the earth, or by any other oath; but let your “yes” be “yes”, and your “no”, “no”, so that you don’t fall into hypocrisy.” You’ve probably read translations of this verse where the last line reads “lest you fall under judgement,” but the Greek word here is hupokrisis (G5272). I think knowing James is talking about hypocrisy makes his “above all things” statement make more sense. There is a great need for us to live genuine, godly lives without dissembling, lying, double-standards, and play-acting.
The word used in James for “without hypocrisy” is used only five other times. In addition to wisdom being without hypocrisy, we’re also to love without hypocrisy (Rom. 12:9; 2 Cor. 6:6; 1 Pet. 1:22) and have faith without hypocrisy (1 Tim. 1:5; 2 Tim. 1:5). Sincere, unfeigned faith and love are core parts of a Christian life. As one of Yahweh’s most important character traits, love is foundational to having Godly wisdom. Faith and wisdom are also linked (Matt. 24:45; 2 Tim. 3:15). I Peter 2:1-3 says, “1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.” We have all tasted the Lord’s grace and love if we’re in a relationship with Him. As such, we owe Him our whole hearts — not some outward, play-acted version of insincere faith.
REMEMBER: The Wisdom from above is without hypocrisy.
CONFESSION: I am a sincere, truthful, and dedicated friend. When I say that I love, I genuinely love. I don’t talk behind people’s backs. I don’t gossip. I don’t betray the friends Adonai has brought into my life. I function by Divine Wisdom. Halleluyah!!!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I release grace upon you now to be true to Yahweh, brethren and yourself and whatever is confronting you today as a challenge turns to testimony for you now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
